Description Novion SS-155
Novion SS-155 — an example of a truly universal model for the small and medium class. It works equally correctly, both on the front and rear wheel. The tire was created for light motorcycles, mini-cross, and junior vehicles. Here, the golden mean is realized: compact dimensions, high profile, and predictability built into the factory on all types of irregularities.
Symmetric Aggression
The tire is equipped with a protector with an aggressive, symmetrical pattern. Therefore, it can be installed on any axle without losing its properties. Large isolated blocks work like independent grippers. Unlike road models, there are no longitudinal stiffness ribs here — only discrete elements that:
- bite into sand, loose soil, and grassy surfaces;
- create a traction vector when accelerating;
- provide braking effort without skidding.
Carcass
Engineers have chosen a single-layer polyester cord. In production, this means high elasticity with sufficient resistance to rupture. The lightness of the design reduces the moment of inertia of the wheel, which is important for the dynamics of acceleration on low-cubic motorcycles. The flexibility of the carcass guarantees ease of deformation on bumps, without transferring a rigid shock to the suspension and the pilot's hands.
Rubber Compound
Medium Soft — a conscious compromise between grip and wear resistance. The recipe contains an optimized ratio of silica and plasticizers. Properties:
- sufficient elasticity to envelop small irregularities;
- the compound does not overheat during long runs on dry and hard surfaces;
- increased resistance to abrasion. The tire retains its pattern longer, which is important for training mode with a smaller budget.
Key Features of Novion SS-155:
- works equally well on both the front and rear wheels thanks to the symmetrical aggressive tread pattern;
- provides excellent shock absorption from hitting stones, roots, and potholes, reducing pilot fatigue;
- aggressive architecture guarantees self-cleaning from dirt and sand;
- polyester cord reduces wheel mass, increases flexibility, and withstands impact loads when jumping and hitting obstacles without losing strength.
